The long wait may finally be over. The world's most famous auto-mechanic, Joey Buttafuoco, is finally ready to deliver a tell-all book, says his publicist David Hans Schmidt.

... The Phoenix-based publicist, who himself received some unsavory press when he attempted to sell nude pictures of Amber Frey to Hustler in 2003, says publishers have expressed interest in the book, but declined to name names.

... Though 12 years have passed since the infamous event that turned his client into tabloid grist, Schmidt insists that the Buttafuoco story will "always be big," adding that there remain "uncovered aspects" of it. Asked why Buttafuoco waited more than a decade to offer up his tell-all, the publicist says: "Not everybody is out to prostitute themselves and everyone around them."
